"Digging...digging? Digging a grave?" Su Xing's eyes almost popped out, staring at the young man in shock.

In the current cemetery, a pile of bones cannot be dug up, at most a box of ashes can be dug up, but it is still very scary when you think about it.

Su Xing just thought about it, and immediately got goosebumps, and said, "You must be joking."

The young man looked at him with a smile, and said, "Why am I joking? If you want to joke, you are joking. Anyway, you said this at the time, and you asked me to tell you. I have already brought the words to you. Believe it or not up to you."

After waking up, he lost his temper for a while, and couldn't speak at all.

He couldn't help but glanced at Chu Qiu, Chu Qiu's face was paralyzed, he didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't speak anyway.

Su Xing thought that the old monk was in samadhi, and wanted to call him.

But before Su Xing could speak, Chu Qiu suddenly raised his head and said one word: "Let's go."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left the small shop, stepped over the threshold with ease, and walked out directly.

Su Xing hurried to catch up, grabbed Chu Qiu's arm, and said, "Wait, where are you going? You can't really go up the mountain to dig a grave?"

Chu Qiu said, "Naturally."

Su Xing gulped dryly, and said, "Digging... digging a grave is too immoral, if someone sees it, wouldn't it be..."

Chu Qiu said: "You can wait for me here, I will be back before dawn."

Su Xing couldn't agree anymore, he felt that it would be safer to be by Chu Qiu's side, if he left, maybe those people from the hospital would chase after him, and he wouldn't be able to run away by then.

Su Xing was embarrassed to say that he was afraid of being alone, so he said righteously: "This is not good, I don't trust you. You... your eyes can't see anywhere that is bright? Without me to support you , how did you go up the mountain?"

Chuqiu's eyes really caught the boy's attention. His eyes are very special. In broad daylight, he must wear special sunglasses. Otherwise, his eyes will be pitch black and he can hardly see anything. arrive.If he didn't wear sunglasses, Chuqiu could only rely on his memory and hearing to act.

But when it came to the really dark place, Chu Qiu's eyesight was extremely sharp, and he could see farther.

It is said that a long time ago, there was a kind of people called Maasai people, who were very tall, and their naked eyesight could reach 8.0.Chuqiu's vision in the dark is basically at this level, and he can even see farther and more carefully.

It's just that the required darkness is more demanding, so he often wears sunglasses even in the dark.Otherwise, street lights or moonlight will affect his vision.

Chu Qiu said: "I've already memorized the way up the mountain, even if I can't see clearly, there's no problem."

When Su Xing heard it, he still didn't let go of Chu Qiu's hand, but held it even tighter, saying: "I don't feel relieved when you say that, I... I'd better go with you, at last I have a care."

The boy was lying behind the counter, looking at them with a smile, and seemed to think that these two people were quite interesting.

When Su Xing and Chu Qiu left, the young man waved his hand to them and said, "Go early and come back early. After six o'clock in the morning, there will be people patrolling the cemetery. Don't be found out."

Su Xing hurriedly looked back at the clock hanging in the shop, it was already midnight, past one o'clock, I don't know if there is enough time, there are still five hours.It was the first time for Su Xing to dig a tomb, so he had no idea at all.

Su Xing took courage and walked up the mountain with Chu Qiu.Fortunately, this mountain is just a small bag of soil, not high enough at all, so it doesn't take long to go up and down again.

The big black dog at the fork in the road was still not there, which made Su Xing very happy, and the two of them entered the cemetery smoothly.

When Chu Qiu left the cemetery just now, he held Su Xing's hand all the way.But going back is different, walking in front of Su Xing, that is called flying, not like a person who can't see anything at all.

Because they had already walked through it once, the two of them quickly found the "Tomb of Chuqiu". Just like before, it was buried in weeds and looked a bit gloomy.

Su Xing stood still, and suddenly said "Oops", and said, "Too bad, we didn't bring a shovel with us when we came to dig the grave."

Chu Qiu looked at him sideways and said, "What do you need a shovel for?"

At this moment, the moonlight and starlight are not very bright, and the clouds in the sky are very heavy. When I wake up, I feel that Chuqiu’s eyes seem to be brighter than before, just like a pair of cat’s eyes, wishing to be able to glow green at night.

Su Xing said, "How do you dig a grave without a shovel?"

Chu Qiu said calmly: "Does this tomb need to be dug? Just pry it open."

The cemetery in this area is very simple, not in the mode of earth burial.There is a stone platform in front of each tombstone, and the stone platform is empty, which is used to put the ashes of the deceased or things buried with him.After the urn is placed, a very thick and large square stone will be pressed on top of the stone platform as a cover, and then sealed with cement or glue.

There are several empty tombs nearby, all of which are not sealed, and the stone platforms are all empty.

Su Xing took a look at the tomb of Chuqiu, it was indeed much more convenient to dig the soil without a shovel, but it also needed a shovel to pry open the sealing stone.

Chu Qiu didn't care about his troubles, he had already walked in front of the tombstone, and then knelt down on the ground on one knee.

Chu Qiu was wearing black clothes, and his long legs were set off against the sky. He was kneeling on one knee at the moment, and his movements could make people nosebleed.

After Chuqiu knelt down, he touched the edge of the sealing stone with his hand. The edge had been bricked to death, but the gap could be seen.

Chu Qiu felt around, then stretched out his hand to touch his waist.

Su Xing watched him take out a small box from his waist. It looked a bit like a business card holder, but it was much longer than a business card holder. I don't know what it was for.

Chu Qiu opened the small box, and under the dim moonlight, Su Xing could see clearly, inside was a box of needles, densely packed, all inserted in the small box, Su Xing felt hairy all over.

The needles in the box seemed to be similar to the ones Chuqiu gave the young man just now, each one was different, some were long and some were short, some were flat, some had hooks, and some were curved and twisted, it looked very strange.

With a random swipe of Chu Qiu's hand, a very long thin needle came out and was caught between the ten and middle fingers.

Su Xing didn't know what he was going to do, so he saw Chuqiu holding the silver needle between his fingertips and drawing a circle around the gap between the blocks.

Chu Qiu stood up when he finished drawing, and then bent down to move the sealing stone.

Su Xing was completely dumbfounded, the sealing stone was easily lifted by Chu Qiu, and stood beside him with a snappy movement.

Su Xing was dumbfounded, he wanted to find a shovel just now, but who knew that Chu Qiu could do it with a needle, which is simply better than Dongfang Bubai.

Su Xing was very curious, couldn't help but moved closer to Chu Qiu's side, and looked up inside.

The tomb has been opened, and the inside can be seen clearly at a glance. There is only one box, which is square.

Su Xing couldn't help frowning, and said, "We were deceived by that boy, right? There is only one urn."

There was only one square box inside the tomb, and the rest were clean and clean.

Chu Qiu bent down and picked up the urn, but because he didn't have sunglasses, he couldn't see clearly now, so he handed it over to Su Xing and said, "Look, there's something strange about it."

The urn was stuffed in Su Xing's hand, Su Xing hurriedly held it with both hands, feeling that a hot taro was stuffed in the palm of his hand, he didn't want to throw it away.

Holding an urn is already very strange, okay?

Su Xing bit the bullet to look at it, and said, "There's nothing strange about it, it's just a box, made of wood, and the paint on the outside is big lacquer, but it's still old lacquer, it's hard to find now."

The outside of the box is painted with red lacquer, and it smells a little bit of the unique fragrance of lacquer, which is different from the cheap counterfeit products now, this is a genuine old lacquer.

The workmanship of the box is really good. When Su Xing touches it, he is about to have an occupational disease, so he can’t help but start to comment on the workmanship of the box.

Su Xing said: "It's just... this box is a little heavy. Are the ashes so heavy? The wood of the box is good wood, but it's not so heavy. I don't know what's in it."

Chu Qiu frowned when he heard this, reached out and took the box over, and also padded it, it was indeed very heavy, as if there was a Tie Gada inside.

Chu Qiu couldn't see clearly, so he stretched out his hand to touch the box, and said, "What picture is engraved on the box?"

Su Xing said with a smile: "Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly is carved by hand, not on wood, but on lacquer. The lacquer should be brushed on the wood, and it should be dried layer by layer, and then brushed again after it dries. Brush it down, so that the lacquer has a thickness, and then carve patterns on the lacquer after it is thick enough. This is called ticking red."

Chu Qiu didn't seem to care about getting red, and muttered: "Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly?"

Su Xing said: "The carving is really good, but there is one thing that is a pity. You see, this butterfly is broken in one place, and it is likely that the hand shook a bit. Other than that, it is impeccable. It is a beautiful butterfly. A treasure worth collecting."

As he said, Chu Qiu immediately stretched out his hand to feel for it, and the big hand with well-articulated bones quickly touched the butterfly.

Chu Qiu's face was paralyzed, showing a trace of surprise, holding the box with one hand, and feeling out a very thin silver needle with the other, and said, "It's not that the engraving is broken, it's a keyhole."
